CARRYING THE WAR INTO AFRICA.
CHICAGO, Oct. 7.-Dennis Kearney,
the agitator, arrived in Chicago from
the Pacific coast this moning and left
for New York in the afternoon to
take part in the three-cornered polit- |
ical struggle being waged between
Democrats. Republicans and the fol-
lowers of Henry George. Kearney,
on reaching Chicago, made an imme-
diate effort to see The condemned an
archists, particularly Parsons. The
Pacific coast agitator was quietly de-
MED admission to the jail by the Of
ficers in charge. He went away la
menting and telling how four years
ago he had advised Parsons to leave
bombs alone and take to ballots, or
he would surely get his neck into a
halter, but Parsons only laughed.
Kearney says that in New York he
will make a series OF speeches, taking
the ground that the question for
workingmen this time is not the far
off issue of land taxation, but shall
the laboring people concentrate every
effort on passing law through the
next session of congress making the
exclusion Of Chinese from the cOun-
try absolute. He will urge that the
hands of the Democrats be strength
ened, their representatives at present
being, in his opinion, the strongest
anti Chinese advocates. 1t will be an
Unnecessarily greater victory, he
thinks, for she workingmen of New
York now to help pass John III. Nit
chell's anti-Chinese bill when con-
gress assemblies than for the sake OF
side issues to weaken the Democracy
and indirectly strengthen the pro-
Chinese Republicans. After leaving
New York Kearney proposes to re-
new the anti-Chinese agitation in the
principal cities of Canada.
